At Gabriel Project Mumbai (GPM), we’ve always believed that quality education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Since 2012, our team has been working in the heart of Mumbai’s Kalwa slum to support children through an integrated approach combining education, healthcare, and nutrition. Now, we are proud to announce our most innovative initiative yet—one that marks a turning point in how education is delivered to underserved communities.
The DigiClass
Education Network: Soft launch July, full launch August 2025
The DigiClass
Education Network is a pioneering digital education model designed to
empower 150 children in Grades 1 through 6 with the tools, confidence, and
skills they need to succeed in high school and beyond.
This initiative builds on over a decade of educational impact and is specifically tailored to address the challenges and aspirations of students growing up in some of the most marginalized conditions in India.
What DigiClass
Will Offer
- Smart classrooms equipped with high-speed internet
- Personal tablets for each student, integrated with a
custom Learning Management System (LMS)
- Engaging digital platforms, including Duolingo ABC, Duolingo
English for Schools, and the renowned Israeli math platform, Mathica
- An expanded teaching team of fully trained, tech-savvy local
educators
- Global enrichment sessions led by experienced international
volunteers
- Monthly health checkups and quarterly educational
excursions for holistic child development
DigiClass isn’t
just a tech upgrade. It’s a bold step toward educational equity, opening
doors for children who have been systematically excluded from the digital
learning revolution.
Why DigiClass,
and Why Now?
In 2024, GPM
conducted a comprehensive assessment of our education programs. The findings
were clear and urgent:
- Students lacked digital literacy—a
key skill for 21st-century success
- Many were struggling with math and
language basics
- Classrooms needed to be more engaging
and student-centered
Global research
shows that digital learning, when implemented thoughtfully, can dramatically
improve student performance—especially in underserved areas. DigiClass is
our answer to that call.
Help Us Make It
Happen
To fully launch
DigiClass and reach 150 students in Kalwa, we are raising $110,000. Your
support will help cover:
- Tablets, smart boards, and educational
software
- Salaries and training for our growing
teaching staff
- Health care and enrichment activities
for every student
- Upgraded technology infrastructure for
all classrooms
This is more than a
funding appeal. It’s an invitation to transform lives. Every
contribution helps change the trajectory of a child’s future—offering dignity,
opportunity, and lasting hope.
Join Us in
Bridging the Divide
DigiClass
represents a new era in education for India’s urban slums, one rooted in
equity, innovation, and community. With your support, we can level the playing
field and ensure that no child is left behind simply because of where they were
born.
Thank you for being
a part of this journey.
